Prevent rats from entering your property by having Drain 247 check the structural integrity of your pipes and drains.
When you suspect you have a rat problem in your property, it’s recommended to act fast as it can lead to a variety of health risks and cause potentially lasting damage to your property.
Drain 247 provides a fast response rat control service for residential and commercial properties in London and Hertfordshire, ensuring that any potential sources of rats are identified and resolved before the problem escalates.
Our emergency reactive rat control solutions are designed to identify areas where rats may be accessing your property, whether it’s through gaps in the wall, unused pipe holes, or even through your drainage system, and we’ll then recommend the most appropriate remediation actions.
Our engineers will capture high-resolution images of the interior of the pipework and provide a detailed easy-to-understand comprehensive report.
Our process is carried out in five stages in order to properly assess your property for rat problems and recommend bespoke solutions to remediate and prevent rat infestations in the future.

As soon as our specialists arrive at your property, we’ll conduct a thorough physical inspection around your entire property in order to identify why rats may be present around your property and the different areas where rats may be getting in. These sources may be broken air bricks, drilled pipe holes in the walls, broken vents, through the roof, and more. Our rat control specialists will be looking for signs of rats being present on your property, such as droppings and too much rubbish.
Upon completing the initial physical inspection, we will take the information we have collected and provide recommendations for remedial actions. If no signs of rats or entry points have been identified, we will then recommend carrying out a CCTV Drain Survey which enables our engineers to thoroughly inspect the drainage systems that reside in your property.
If a CCTV Drain Survey is required in order to investigate if rats are coming through your drainage systems, we will open a nearby manhole and lower a high-resolution CCTV camera into the drain and survey all of the pipes to see if there are any structural weaknesses in the pipes where rats may be coming through. If a problem has been identified, such as damaged pipes where rats may be accessing, we will move onto fixing your pipes.
At this stage, our specialists will now carry out the required remedial actions to block the access points for rats. If your drainage systems have been compromised, our team of drainage engineers will be on hand to carry out patch relining services to restore your pipes back to water-tight and sealed conditions to prevent rats from entering your drainage in the future. In addition, our patch relining services utilise no-dig technology which means that excavation is not required in order to repair your pipes. This means no disruption to your property while your repairs are being carried out.
At Stage 5, our engineers will be fitting a blocker that has been specifically designed to prevent rats from entering your drainage system. This will help stop rats from getting into your property through the drainage systems in the future. These blockers will be inserted into the pipework at the front of your property before it connects to the sewer. Or we can install blockers in the lateral connections which are located in the manhole.
